Who do you call when a coyote wanders into Chelsea or a peregrine falcon drops its kill on Wall Street? Who can explain how baby skunks have turned up in a Bronx subway station, or how to make Manhattan supertalls safer for the thousands of migrating birds careening through the obstacle course of our skyline? Our podcast guest this episode is naturalist Leslie Day, an expert on all the ways that the five, densely-populated boroughs of New York City are still teeming with wildlife. Leslie has written a surprising set of field guides to the natural world of New York (www.leslieday.nyc) and in this episode, she shares with us story after story of the many trees, plants, and creatures—other than humans—who have never given up their claim to city living, even in the dead of winter.
